What inspired you to found the Group and how did the company name come about?  

The idea was born out of the conviction that quality must come first in the healthcare segment. After many years in the industry, I have seen the gaps and challenges that exist for companies to produce high-quality food supplements and medicines. The company name explains exactly that: At 1Q Health, quality comes first. We see ourselves as a “FAST TRACK TO QUALITY”

How do your services differ from other providers on the market?  

In our group of companies, we unite some pearls in the contract manufacturing industry for food supplements and pharmaceutical products. Our state-of-the-art technologies and comprehensive expertise enable us to offer innovative premium products in all common dosage forms at competitive conditions. Of course, we are not alone in the market. We focus on a holistic approach and speed and see ourselves as an agile partner for our customers throughout the entire product life cycle, from small-scale production to mass production. Our service does not end with the finished packaged product.

What are the specific advantages of your orientation for your customers?

We support our customers in all aspects of product implementation. From brand development, formulation development and production of a quality product to digital presence and marketing. We support our start-up clients in areas such as influencer searches, webshop development and smart online campaigns to position their products effectively and reach their target groups. We support our key accounts with internationalization and portfolio expansion. The production units of the 1Q Health group of companies are designed for a wide range of order sizes and the processing of sophisticated ingredients.

What trends are you currently observing in the industry, particularly with regard to Food supplements?

The trend is towards greater transparency and the topic of sustainability is an important aspect for us and the entire industry, and one on which we actively advise our customers. We see that consumers are increasingly looking for products that are demonstrably good for their health and are also produced in an ethically and ecologically responsible manner. We conduct in-depth studies on our products within our network and beyond, which enables us to generate real added value for our customers' products. We see ourselves not just as a simple producer, but as a supplier of expertise with a comprehensive range of services.

What does the future of 1Q Health look like?

Promising! We plan to continuously expand our portfolio and extend our reach. At the same time, we want to strengthen our innovative power through new technologies and keep our finger on the pulse of the online business in order to offer the best possible digital support as a D²CDMO. I am looking forward to working with the entire 1Q Health team.
